Affected files ============== The file(s) affected by this issue are: drivers/md/dm-verity-loadpin.c Mitigation ========== The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes. Individual changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel release. Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or supported by the Linux kernel community at all. If however, updating to the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this issue can be found at these commits: https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/7d4f1d307ac0f4f55cebeb192a90a235aa060ed1 https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/1f04b390add2e14c5b36829a0a1529c4eb65a2e1 https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/32f8231c81bd45ab92d49b646a154551f7d54f4f https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/f15eaa3801f2f9207dff156f1ab3e7436ce52bb1 https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/81f41d989a32458ff3512f6b05458eaf8926579c https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/e72b793ae440f6900fb17a4b8518c707b5cd3e17
